Financial updates are now focusing on a waning global economy and the demise of gold. Some reports suggest that gold will fall below $700.00 an ounce in the short term.
While the financial reports plan for a gold holocaust, the final sentences of these clandestine traps report that gold will flourish in the longer term. The current agenda is to have small investors divest themselves of gold and then have banks, sovereign governments and institutional investors stockpile their gold reserves at lower market prices.

The global debt conundrum can only be “reset” by a commodity-backed currency. Those major commodities include gold and silver. This can be the only reasonable explanation as to why sovereign governments around the world have been purchasing gold and silver.
The financial markets are technological whores, manipulated by algorithms, sophisticated computer servers and insider trading. I’ve heard that as much as 80% of stock market trades are server based – the unsophisticated investor does not stand a chance.

My suggestion, don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do. Thank you, J. Pede

After yesterday's report on the latest Central Bank gold purchases, Jeffrey Nichols analyses the impact of such buying on the global gold market and its underpinning of the gold price.

A recent survey of central-bank reserve managers predicted that the most significant change in their official reserve holdings over the next 10 years will be their intentional accumulation of gold.

In fact, central-bank reserve managers are already moving in this direction, expanding their reported bullion reserves by 439.7 tons last year - the biggest annual increase in almost five decades . . . and this doesn't count significant purchases that remain unreported.

Central banks, taking advantage of depressed market prices, were again big buyers of gold this past March according to statistics just issued by the International Monetary Fund. Reported official gold holdings increased by 49.8 metric tons last month and 55.1 tons during the first quarter.

However, it is quite likely that actual central bank gold reserves rose considerably more as some countries, led by China, choose not to report or otherwise publicize their gold market activities.

Among those central banks reporting to the IMF, Mexico was perhaps last month's most notable buyer, adding some 16.8 tons this past March on top of the 98.8 tons purchased in 2011.

Turkey added some 11.5 tons to official reserves, although this results from commercial bank transfers to meet domestic reserve and collateral requirements.
Russia, a fairly regular buyer in recent years, boosted its official gold reserves by some 15.6 tons last month and the country's central bank has said it bought another ton in the first three weeks of April. Proving itself to be an astute trader, Russia's central bank was a small seller at higher prices in February.

Kazakhstan, like Russia, buying from domestic mine production, added 4.3 tons last month. In addition, a few other countries bought smaller amounts.

Readers of my NicholsOnGold reports and followers of my more frequent Twitter posts should not be surprised by the recent news of continued significant central bank gold purchases this past March. We have repeatedly suggested that official purchases were giving the market some downside protection with central banks buying on dips when their purchases would not be disruptive or particularly visible to other market participants and observers of the gold scene.

Central banks, like many private investors, view gold as a hedge against debasement and devaluation of their U.S. dollar- and euro-denominated currency reserves.
And, because it is the only financial asset with no counterparty risk, central banks hold gold as a safe haven free from confiscatory and political risk. Indeed, both Iran and Venezuela last year, as a precaution against political risk in the form of economic sanctions, repatriated some of their official reserves that were previously held in Bank of England vaults.

With total reported global official gold reserves at roughly 31,000 tons (997 million ounces) compared to annual world gold mine output at 2,810 metric tons (about 90 million ounces), relatively small percentage changes in central bank holdings can have a significant influence on the metal's price.

In the two decades through 2009, net official sales added roughly 15 to 20 percent to the supply of gold entering the market each year. One can imagine that this additional supply had a considerable negative effect on the metal's price.

Similarly, in more recent years, the effect of central banks shifting gears - becoming net buyers rather than net sellers - has had a very positive effect on the metal's price.

I believe that net official gold accumulation will not only continue but will likely expand in 2012 and for years to come. With China and Russia leading the pack, a growing number of central banks, underweighted in gold and over-weighted in dollars and euros, will join the line to buy gold.

Importantly, the official sector will continue to underpin the price - buying on corrections when significant quantities are readily available and may be purchased discretely without disrupting the market.

Fuelling the rise in official sector interest in gold is the anticipated future depreciation of the U.S. dollar in world currency markets and the continuing erosion of its status and role as the world's key official reserve asset.

And, the dollar is not the only currency suffering a loss of respect. A few weeks ago, an Asian-country central banker told me his country's recent gold purchases had been motivated mostly by a loss of confidence in the euro as a reliable reserve asset.
In recent years, China's central bank, the People's Bank of China, has probably been the most significant buyer. Three years ago - in April 2009 - the PBOC revealed it had bought some 454 tons of gold over the preceding six years, an average of about 75 tons per year.

Since then there has been no hard evidence of additional buying . . . but my guess is that the PBOC continues to buy regularly from domestic mine production and scrap refinery output - perhaps as much as 50 to 100 tons or more per year. For its part, the PBOC not long ago said it will "seek diversification in the management of reserve assets," possibly signaling their intention to accumulate gold without actually saying so.

One day in the future we should not be surprised to see by a PBOC announcement that China's actual official gold reserves are considerably higher.

Many other central banks have also taken a much more positive view of gold in recent years. Indeed, the official sector has been a positive net buyer of gold for the past two or three years. This follows some two decades in which the official sector was a net seller of gold to the market, reflecting mostly large-scale sales by European central banks that mistakenly thought gold was in descent as a legitimate reserve asset and sold at a mere fraction of today's price.

Following many years of net annual sales in the 400-to-500 ton range, the official sector became a net buyer of gold in 2009. This is a "game changer" for the gold market. Instead of supplying hundreds of tons, year in and year out, central banks are now buying at what seems to be a net rate of 400 to 500 tons per year - representing a swing in the annual supply/demand balance of 800 to 1000 tons a year.

I don't think most market observers and participants fully appreciate just how significant this has been - and will continue to be - for the world gold market.
The list of countries that have reported gold purchases to the IMF in the past few years is itself growing with new, surprising names joining the club:

• Russia has been the most outspoken and one of biggest buyers of gold in recent years. It has an explicitly stated policy to continue making monthly purchases from domestic sources at a rate of about one hundred tons a year . . . and has more than doubled its gold reserves over the past four years.
• Kazakhstan is another gold-mining country intent on buying its own mine output in order to build up its official gold reserves. The National Bank of Kazakhstan has announced plans to purchase their nation's entire gold production during the next few years.
• India made a strong pro-gold statement, buying 200 tons directly from the International Monetary Fund at the start of the IMF 's gold-sales program a couple of years ago.
• South Korea last summer announced the purchase of 25 tons, its first purchase since 1998 when it collected and resold gold jewelry donated by patriotic citizens to help the country through a period of economic emergency.
• Saudi Arabia also bought significant quantities of gold - 180 tons, in fact but did not report these purchases until last June. It is likely that the Saudi Arabia Monetary Authority continues to buy on the sly . . . along with some of the other oil producers that, like the Saudis, are over-weighted in U.S. dollar assets and grossly underweighted in gold,
• Mexico was one of the biggest buyers in 2011, acquiring some 100 tons. As America's southern neighbor and close trading partner, this is yet another sign of the diminishing faith and trust in the U.S. currency.
• In addition to Mexico, other recent Latin American buyers include Bolivia (which recently bought seven tons following a similar purchase in December 2010), Colombia, and Venezuela (which not only bought some gold last year, but also repatriated much of its gold reserves that were previously held abroad in the Bank of England vault),
• Other names on the list of recent central-bank buyers include Thailand, Turkey, Belarus, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and even Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, gold sales by European central banks - those that had been big sellers in the 1990s - have dwindled to practically nothing, only enough to supply their bullion and commemorative coin programs.

Keep in mind that aggregate central bank gold purchases probably exceed the official data by a wide margin.

The People's Bank of China, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, and some other central banks with huge and some might say "excessive" U.S. dollar- and euro-denominated official reserve assets have an incentive to buy gold discretely and surreptitiously - simply because the announcement of their buying programs would likely boost the yellow metal's price and raise these central bank's acquisition costs.
Importantly, much of the gold bought by central banks has been bought for the long term - and will likely be held not just for a few days, weeks, months or even a few years . . . No, much of this gold will be held for decades or longer, even at much higher prices.

Central banks are now creating an upside bias to the market and are reducing the "free-float" available to meet future demand, even at much higher prices. As a consequence, we can expect less downside volatility - and a more sustainable bull market with much higher prices in the years to come.

A Barrel of Oil
Every 42-US-gallon (159 litre) barrel of crude provides a little more than 44 gallons of petroleum products. This is gained due to processing of crude. From one barrel we get (in gallons):

Federal and Provincial Excise tax plus HST on the Excise Taxes total approximately $0.279 per litre in Ontario. This is a general average for most provinces except B.C., where taxes approximate $0.41 per litre.

Therefore, adding 50.3 + 27.9 provides a litre price of $0.782. At the retail litre price of $1.20 the gross profit margin equals 41.8 cents per litre or 35%. This might seem reasonable, but gasoline represents only 45.6% of the barrel price. It’s no wonder the oil companies are making billions of dollars and Elizabeth and Beatrix are banking much of it.

Take a look at the corporate profits:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_corporate_profits_and_losses

Then we have President Putin. This guy is amazingly stealth and the most important political leader in the world today. Let’s see what he told Simon Peres on his recent visit to Israel:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Israel will regret it if it launches a military strike on Iran. Putin made the remarks during a meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres in Beit-ul-Moqaddas (Jerusalem) on Monday. During the meeting, Putin urged Israel to learn from negative U.S. experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, Ynetnews reported.

“Look at what happened to the Americans in Afghanistan and in Iraq. I told (U.S. President Barack) Obama the same thing,” Putin stated. He added, “There is no need to do things too quickly; one should not act without thinking first.”

“Iraq has a pro-Iranian regime after everything that has happened there. These things should be thought out ahead of time before doing something one will regret later,” the Russian president stated. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier on Monday following his meeting with Putin, “I believe that we should be doing two things now: Boosting the sanctions (on Iran) and also boosting the demands.” The Russian president said that the two leaders “spoke in detail about the Syria issue and about the Iranian nuclear program.”

If we can just rid the United States Congress of the Zionist infestation then Israel need not play war games with itself. Israel categorizes itself to be the victim, yet it is really the catalyst for global chaos. Putin understands this full well.

Next, we have gas prices at an all-time high. The barrel price of oil is approximately $79.00, yet the litre price of gasoline in Toronto is over $1.20. We can certainly ask our government leaders to provide a reasonable explanation, but they have none. Our leader reports to an abstract authority who prides herself in wearing nice hats, making sure that people curtsy and that her husband continues to acquire more honour-filled names. Now she is glorifying her son in the same fashion. The problem is that the concubines of Satan, Elizabeth and Beatrix, have an insatiable urge for money. They both have an insatiable urge for blood as well. Perhaps, if an Oliver Cromwell does exist, he can repay them for the murders of Gaddafi, Mubarak, Hussein and the other countless victims of genocide.

No-one has considered the one solution for the EURO that will work. De-throne all the kings and queens and take back our money. They stole it. The Code of Hammurabi is in play. At least it’s a fair principle. It intends to punish a crime for a crime, not punish someone because they have been made to be criminals. Mr. Draghi, the global wealth sits in the coffers of European and Asian aristocracy. Ready the armies and take our money back. You won’t have to worry about bailouts anymore.

By the way, the Globalists must really be pissed off. Nationalism is riding high with the success of the EUFA games. The Globalists want to get rid of flags, languages, rights, borders and money. They want us to join the ranks of the Roma (for those unfamiliar, that is the proper identification for whom we commoners refer to as Gypsies).

While ordinary citizens around the world try and cope with the political tyranny and the economic doom, queen Elizabeth is busy preparing a “curtsy protocol”. Yes, this fraudulent and detached institution, which should be abolished, is preparing for the future – a future where the fascio-monarchists want you and me to return to our roots. Do you remember the movie “Roots”?

The public should be responding by giving these aristocratic heathens a taste of their own medicine. Lock them up and throw away the key. Perhaps they can learn to pick cotton. If the queen eats, poops and wipes she is just one of the boys.

Please take a moment to read the article posted on the following website:

My friend Victor asked that I write a poem about a pimple
A grotesque fatty bump hibernating amid a big hairy dimple
It's fun queezing the deformity until the pus pops like a weasel
Oops, the crud looks like the pandemic humourously named measle

How many pimples grow each and every day
How many survive to experience a truly natural decay
How many pop because of pressure and vanity
How many in fact resemble the fate of all humanity

So be cautious of what you ingest each and every day
Too much fat can the brain’s reasoning quickly decay
Dermatologists have substituted acne cream with deadly a virus
The Globalist puppets listen well to the protocols of Osiris

Awake, awake my little sheep
The Almighty is summoning you from your laborious sleep
Cleanse those tired crust-filled eyes
Look-up to observe the warnings of the cloud-baked skies

Nebula visages proclaim a message of doom
Among the cumulus the fate of humanity will one day loom
The sun is a rage with wrath and ire
Angels are stoking and readying God’s angry fire

Distant stars weep as they reflect on “Our” cycle of death
Saddened that Man must once again perish with an unsuspecting last breathe
Celestial bodies bring warnings from a neighbor far away
The message; Earthlings, hold hands and learn how to pray

Awake, awake my slumbering sheep
Are you ready to utter your last prophetic peep
The Quintessence that fills the universe beyond the Earth
Impatiently awaits the dawning of your souls’ ultimate birth.

Robert Redford played the part of the accidental spy so well. What he ultimately learned is that crazy people do crazy things to avoid explaining an inexplicable calamity. In the real world governments play real war games so as not to declare war on opposing nations. Real war would require public or parliamentary acknowledgement or approval.

There is something fowl in the air and Turkey may soon lay the next golden egg. Turkey reports that Syria has struck down one of their jets. This entire situation was intended to create a diplomatic strain between Turkey and Syria. This was no accident. The chess-game is getting more advanced as we go along. This event could draw Turkey into a NATO aggression pact, or see itself fall into a more Islamic fundamentalist regime. The Turkish people may be the next unsuspecting victims of an “Arab Spring”.

The western Globalists are really applying pressure on Russia, and perhaps China. Egypt has just fallen into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood – a western globalist funded party, Libya is in shambles, Syria is being accused of everything the CIA, MOSSAD and MI6 are orchestrating and North Korea is back in the picture too. Ex-patriots of North Korea are feeding propaganda into that country, via South Korea. This is intended to stir tensions between the two countries and within the entire Asia Pacific rim.

Examine the geography on a map – Syria, followed by Iraq, then Iran, Pakistan and finally Afghanistan. Syria, Iran and Pakistan are targets of the western globalists, and Iraq and Afghanistan are the war-torn colonies of the same lunatics. Strategically, Syria, Iran and Pakistan, and their allegiance to Russia and China must be crushed. These three countries prevent the globalist plan of complete totalitarianism. This plan is imperative because it must coincide with the collapse of the monetary systems. This sinister plan supports the entire hidden agenda.

All the knives are coming out before the end of 2012. We have earthquakes (their frequency, re-occurrence and severity are increasing in numbers every day), the planned demise of the Euro & U.S. dollar, war and economic upheaval are flying high. Whether it’s Turkey or a Condor, the hunters are playing a dangerously “fowl game”.

They listen to our phone conversations, monitor our internet activity and now they will be listening to what we have to say at airports and border patrol stations. This was posted today:

According to a PostMedia News report, airports and border crossings across Canada are being wired with high-definition cameras and microphones that can eavesdrop on your conversations.

At Canada's largest airports, listening devices will be limited to "controlled areas" which include the areas surrounding aircraft that have arrived in or are about to leave Canada, the primary inspection area where all travellers must report to a border services officer, the secondary inspection area where border services officers conduct further examinations of travellers and goods as well as certain holding and departure areas at the airport.

An audit conducted by Canada's privacy commissioner Jennifer Stoddart last November, found that CBSA officials were doing a poor job securing private information.

As 'Big Brother' widens its reach, maybe the best advice for Canadian travelers is to just stay silent.

This continued erosion of our civil liberties and privacy rights are being attacked at all fronts by the Harper government. Harper must GO! This man is establishing a Fascio-Monarchist hegemony that will soon see Canada entrapped in a wall of fear. Our goal should be to contain political corruption, not see it thrive. Our goal is to defend democracy, not let some globalist agenda destroy it. The noose is tightening around our necks – where are the civil liberties groups and where are the opposition parties?

If sound sensing equipment is ready to be activated, the likelihood is that this technology has been active for years and has been deployed in many public environments. They are attacking free speech and free thought. Do you remember Communist Russia and China? Well Canada is becoming that new communism. Get rid of the queen!

What next, Bill squeals on Roger, and Roger goes to jail for exposing government corruption? Canadians, just for the record, we have a “Constitution and a Bill of Rights” – Harper is putting a match to it.

The Long Valley Caldera and the Cleveland Vulcano are now partnered with a third threat. It is called "Cumbre Vejia". This last one is an active vulcanic ridge forming part of Isla de La Palma - in the Canary Islands. If this goes, the eastern coast of the USA will be under water for hundreds of miles. Keep an eye on this one folks. It is waking up.

Update for June 17,2012:

The Cleveland Vulcano and the Long Valley Caldera continue to show seismic activity. The potential for even greater devastation has increased with continuing activity from the Kilauea Volcano. Should the Cleveland and the Kilauea volcanoes erupt the entire western shores of the North and South American continents, as well as the Asian Pacific rim, and Australia, would suffer catastrophic damage.

Do not believe in God, if it is easier to accept life without Him. Continue on your journey of indifference and let evil infest every strand of your moral and ethical DNA.

We accept the fact that evil exists, but we question not its true nature, essence and origin. If God does not exist, then why does evil exist? Is evil the mechanism by which our survival instinct is triggered? Are we in fact defending, killing and willingly dying for an inconsequential moment? If so, then fighting for existence yields no reward. It is a temporal reaction to an infinitely re-occurring and finite predicament.

Is it fair to conclude that existence is a random situation, and that evil, for lack of a better name, is the stimulus that maintains our orderly biological ecosystem? Could evil be Mother Nature? Nature, if you examine closely, is the very force which manipulates our chemical existence. If so, we may conclude that we are all as the monster Frankenstein – a perpetually evolving manifestation of the periodic table.

Now try and imagine the infinite chemical compositions that are possible. How has one formula, whose outcome is Mankind, managed to stand the test of time? Why has a tiger, an ant or elephant not acquired our same level of intellectual sophistication? Is there a component which differentiates the different Frankenstein creations in nature?

Perhaps it is intellect. We can conclude that intelligence is something that is acquired through habit and experience, and then stored in memory? If so, then why have we not learned that evil is survival’s momentary gratification. If we have not stored this realization in our memory, then we may also conclude that we are stupid. So, does God exist?

Welcome to the planet of the apes
A place where people are now squeezed like vineyard grapes
Souls have been drained of all their spiritual elixir
Drug induced zombies, victims all, of the globalist tricksters

Wallets are running dry of hard earned cash
Banks are smoking money like well-preserved hash
Dollars bills quickly rot with the stench of treason
Governments say these events are now in season

The wilds are no place for de-frocked sheep
Reflect on the drama of Little Bo Peep
What will the new wilderness jack-asses end up doing
Perhaps sitting around campfires and angrily stewing

If you have any bananas you may end up fighting, or
Be like me and take-up poetic writing
Curious George is my literary king of the jungle
He offered the Lion the deadly fungal.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Politicians and educators pontificate that “knowledge defeats fear”. Then why do they find it necessary to suppress free speech, free thought and question those who seek to expose the true nature of our political leaders? Who gave them the right to make constitutional decisions which undermine our national interests? Who gave them the right to represent the people of Canada in illegal wars, murder and genocide? Libya and Egypt were exactly that and Syria may soon be. My hope is that Russia and China kick the English monarchy and the parade of globalists from here to Kingdom come. Perhaps one day soon, the people of this planet may live in peace and the doctrine of English Colonialism will be employed to make slaves of the blood-thirsty aristocrats who crave the smell of blood.

Today, an article on MSN queried whether or not it would be wise to have the NDP and Liberal Parties of Canada unite in an attempt to oust PM Stephen Harper. If you have not learned the lesson yet, I will repeat it for you. The two-party political system is a corrupt form of government. We should be striving to “eliminate” all party allegiances and have elected members of parliament represent the people, not the concubine of Satan or a Stepford Wife of the globalist agenda.

While politicians have the right intentions when seeking political office, they soon become the victims of a sinister cabal. Allegiance to a political party only heightens the possibility of membership in that cabal. Look at the newly elected Premier of Alberta, Alison Redford - already a tea-toddling member of the Bilderberg Group. This is no surprise; the Globalists have plans for, and want control of Alberta’s oil production and distribution. Redford no longer represents the people of Alberta, but rather the globalist oil cartel (Elizabeth and Beatrix).

2012 should be a year to remember because history has already made it a prophetic year. This should be a year where Mankind eradicates globalists, elitists, freemasons, bankers, Zionists, monarchies and any structure which purports to be an organization (these are bee hives for corruption and thievery). They breed the very people we need to eliminate from our future.

At the recent Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, held between May 31, 2012 and June 3, 2012, James Tucker reported that the Bilderberg attendees wanted Ron Paul eliminated – he meant killed. This may explain Rand Paul’s recent decision to support Romney for the Republican Presidential bid. It was also reported that “Nationalism” was a dirty word. The obvious conclusion is that individual nation states must once again rise from the ashes. Continental unions serve to reign in the ultimate goal of global totalitarianism.

If you or I planned Ron Paul’s assassination we would be in jail. Kings, queens, royalty, presidents, prime ministers, bankers and ceo’s have immunity from prosecution. So why did Prime Minister Harper’s chief of staff attend the meeting? The people we elect, or should trust, continue to be the very people planning covert terrorism around the world. The following is a list of people who attended the meeting:

Yes the Vatican, through the Vatican Bank and the powerful Jesuit Order, do control the world, more importantly, they control the future. I know many of you would consider this preposterous, but technology has left the simple remains of humanity scouring in the dust bowl of ignorance. We have become the ready puppets of modernity and obsolescence, having left behind our true nature to the whims of tyranny.

We applaud the genius of pedantic trivialists like Einstein and neglect the genius whose names have been hidden in obscure dust-covers or lie hidden in the shadows of power.

Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti, an Italian priest, claimed in the 1960s to have invented what he called a Chronovisor - something that allowed him to witness Christ's crucifixion. The device supposedly enabled viewers to watch any event in human history by tuning in to remnant vibrations that are caused by every action. His team of researchers and builders included Enrico Fermi – inventor of the atomic bomb.

You can read a more detailed report on Father Ernetti via the following link:

The chronovisor not only had the ability to recall the past, but also view the future. I remind the readers, the future “is not” static but rather the permeable essence of “free will”. I witnessed the crucifixion several years ago - it was a sombering moment. My poem entitled "I offer You Jesus", contained in my September, 2010 Blog material, describes the event.

The Rockefeller Foundation & Global Business Network produced this report in May 2010. The report defines several scenarios for the future of technology and mankind. The front cover depicts the planet Earth using binary code. I am confident this numerical matrix translates into meaningful information. The diagram also illustrates an explosive like wave whose epicentre originates in or about Mali, Africa.

This article should help individuals differentiate between what should be perceived as prophecy, and what should be perceived as man-made chaos and malevolence. If you have ever wanted to the know the future, read this report. The authors illustrate four scenarios for the future (remember this was written in 2010):

i) Lock Step ii) Clever Together iii) Hack Attack iv) Smart Scramble

Below are excerpts from the various scenarios. In the least, this narrative should make your hair curl, in the extreme it should enlighten you as to the evil that has permeated our government institutions and the black-hand that controls them. Please download the report and read it at your leisure, your dying leisure.

In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been anticipating for years finally hit. Unlike 2009’s H1N1, this new influenza strain — originating from wild geese — was extremely virulent and deadly. Even the most pandemic-prepared nations were quickly overwhelmed when the virus streaked around the world, infecting nearly 20 percent of the global population and killing 8 million in just seven months, the majority of them healthy young adults. The pandemic also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply chains. Even locally, normally bustling shops and office buildings sat empty for months, devoid of both employees and customers.

The pandemic blanketed the planet — though disproportionate numbers died in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central America, where the virus spread like wildfire in the absence of official containment protocols. But even in developed countries, containment was a challenge. The United States’s initial policy of “strongly discouraging” citizens from flying proved deadly in its leniency, accelerating the spread of the virus not just within the U.S. but across borders. However, a few countries did fare better — China in particular. The Chinese government’s quick imposition and enforcement of mandatory quarantine for all citizens, as well as its instant and near-hermetic sealing off of all borders, saved millions of lives, stopping the spread of the virus far earlier than in other countries and enabling a swifter post-pandemic recovery.

Scenario two:

Devastating shocks like September 11, the Southeast Asian tsunami of 2004, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake had certainly primed the world for sudden disasters. But no one was prepared for a world in which large-scale catastrophes would occur with such breathtaking frequency. The years 2010 to 2020 were dubbed the “doom decade” for good reason: the 2012 Olympic bombing, which killed 13,000, was followed closely by an earthquake in Indonesia killing 40,000, a tsunami that almost wiped out Nicaragua, and the onset of the West China Famine, caused by a once-in-a-millennium drought linked to climate change.

Not surprisingly, this opening series of deadly asynchronous catastrophes (there were more) put enormous pressure on an already overstressed global economy that had entered the decade still in recession. Massive humanitarian relief efforts cost vast sums of money, but the primary sources — from aid agencies to developed-world governments — had run out of funds to offer. Most nation-states could no longer afford their locked-in costs, let alone respond to increased citizen demands for more security, more healthcare coverage, more social programs and services, and more infrastructure repair. In 2014, when mudslides in Lima buried thousands, only minimal help trickled in, prompting the Economist headline: “Is the Planet Finally Bankrupt?”

These dire circumstances forced tough trade-offs. In 2015, the U.S. reallocated a large share of its defense spending to domestic concerns, pulling out of Afghanistan — where the resurgent Taliban seized power once again. In Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, more and more nation-states lost control of their public finances, along with the capacity to help their citizens and retain stability and order. Resource scarcities and trade disputes, together with severe economic and climate stresses, pushed many alliances and partnerships to the breaking point; they also sparked proxy wars and low-level conflict in resource-rich parts of the developing world. Nations raised trade barriers in order to protect their domestic sectors against imports and — in the face of global food and resource shortages — to reduce exports of agricultural produce and other commodities.

Orbs of light spin round in all dimensions
Lingering souls lost in heavenly apprehension
Darkness filled their mortal time
Ignorant victims of a preposterous sublime
Their haunting return failed to explain the moment
Reason naively provided no clue to the lingering torment
From flesh to spirit in an unexplained flash
An entire existence voided for the love of cash.

So my dear friends, Spain has been awarded a 100 billion EURO bailout - this to stem another banking crisis. Spanish banks, in all likelihood, require a 300 – 500 billion EURO bailout to keep the Spanish and European Union afloat. Germany, the Herculean economy, will soon see its economy start to crumble and decay. The nations which gave Germany financial leverage will soon become Prussia’s balls and chains. There is a Reich and there is a wRong!

This ongoing saga of debt will precipitate a major false flag event. Depositors who are withdrawing their money from European banks are the stimulus for this upcoming drama. The aftermath of these actions will have major consequences for the banking community. Recent bank reforms require banks to maintain higher capital standards and ratios. By extracting deposits, a bank’s capital requirements will be lessened, but their debt load will not decrease. Their inability to service that debt will become an insurmountable burden, as well as the associated liquidity problems (i.e. because of diminishing deposits). Continued extraction of the money supply may pull the plug on the entire banking system. Ole, the “dee bull” is no longer the under-dog!

The Devil is Doing the Watusi

Good morning my dear old friends
Are you paying attention to the financial trends
Stock markets prolong their upward climb
Banks continue to print their money, just in time
Politicians write the laws to make it all legal
The Devil is doing the Watusi with all those regal

Good evening my dear old friend
It is just you and me until the bitter end
Humanity unknowingly fell prey to a downward spiral

God disappointed His experiment failed miserably short.
